BALTIMORE -- For the first time, the operators of a California-based Web site are revealing they have evidence that an e-mail address from the Maryland Democratic State Party is associated with MD4BUSH.
WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team reporter David Collins said the operators of FreeRepublic.com are not revealing the name behind MD4BUSH. But this is the first time that they are suggesting the state democratic party is associated with the MD4BUSH account on their Web site.
Jim Robinson, the president of the conservative Web site, issued the following statement: "Free Republic has evidence that an mddems.org (Maryland Democratic Party) e-mail address is associated with the MD4BUSH account. This is not just coincidence."
They also call on the account holder to come clean.
Free Republic has the electronic trail associated with the saga of MD4BUSH.

Last week, the name of Ryan O'Doherty, a former official with the state Democratic Party who left that job in January, surfaced publicly in connection with the MD4BUSH mystery. That happened when the governor's lawyer forwarded an e-mail with O'Doherty's name on it to the committee investigating the governor's firing practices.

The I-Team caught up with O'Doherty outside the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, where's he's held a newly created job for the past nine months. The agency is publicly funded, with close ties to the mayor and county executives.
O'Doherty is a friend of Steve Kearney, one of the mayor's top aides. Sources said Kearney first tried to get O'Doherty hired in City Hall. Kearney told 11News he couldn't remember if he provided any help.
Collins reported in response to Free Republic's disclosure, Josh White, the executive director of the state Democratic Party, said how could anyone take the word of a right-wing Website that wants nothing more than to help the governor.

All you need to do is swing a dead chicken and if you hit a democrat you've hit a liar.

One day I chose to los but I won.
I guess that means I lost, eh?
. . .depends on the meaning of 'write'. Might he have 'typed' the e-mail. . .picked. . .or pecked out the e-mail.
(..probably did not even send it. . .rather; he just hit 'send' on his keyboard; and the computer did the rest. . .)
Yes indeed how could they take the word of someone who wants to HELP !?!?
LOL. Large numbers of people would be surprised to learn that and would have to surmise that I had had a brain transplant. Anyway, we are all squared away now and no harm was done :)
And then he can also ask the Washington ComPost's partners in slime, Matthew Mosk, R.B. Brenner and Leonard Downie, what they knew, when they knew it, and why they felt they had the right to make news with information provided by MDDEMS.ORG that implicated MD4BUSH much more than it implicated NCPAC in any underhanded talk.
The Washington ComPost is a pretty crappy newspaper, and the way they participated in the making of this "story" is fine evidence of that.
No doubt.
So we shoud take the word of a left wing political party that wants nothing more than to hurt the governor.
B-I-N-G-O
Does FR have an award for investigative journalism?
I nominate you for all of your fabulous info on this thread.
WBAL-TV led with this story last night at 11:00. They had Ryan O'Doherty on air dancing away from answering the big question.
Funny to watch a "spokesman" silenced by a reporter.
Nothing like "Research time".
Stretching out the torture time by asking WaPO and rat cretins questions puts them on record. (The DFU squeeze?)
You should not be the only one that has fun. LOL
Would we only be able to give them a brain transplant! : )
Oh by the way if you haven't yet, VOTE
O'Doherty: "I've answered all the questions from your news organization. I appreciate the opportunity and that's all I have to say."

Seems the Washington Post took the word of this web site when they published their articles.
Jim should give it to all of us.
Oh man. This is too entertaining.
